Basque legend tells of a supersized creature covered in long hair called the Basajun, a Spanish version of what we called Bigfoot. For generations shepherds of the Pyrenees, as well as the Basque Country, have held that the creature inhabits its vast mountains and navigates the treacherous terrain with deft ability. He is known as the "lord of the forest."

To the Editor:New York Times - United StatesIt is fashionable to dismiss reports of an unknown primate as a cultural phenomenon invented by “white, rural men,” as Joshua Blu Buhs does in “Bigfoot” and ...

This was a pretty terrific show, the last on Blog Talk Radio, with guests Joel Sturgis and Scotty (forgot his last name), a tarot reader. Joel mainly discussed a good bit about the website he hosts, Dark Plains Radio, where Beyond The Edge Radio will be moving to starting Sunday, July 5th, and Scott discussed about his Tarot reading skills. Next Sunday night, on Dark Plains Radio Sean, Eric and Joe welcome author/Bigfoot researcher Henry Franzoni starting at their new time of 9:30 EST/8:30 Central and going to 11:30 EST/10:30 Central. And as always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.

OOP Riddle: What has two big feet, can kick a man to death and has been seen in the bucolic suburbs of Chicago.. amongst other places? Micah Hanks goes over some the more prominent out-of-place reports of kangaroos, dating back as far back as the 1930s, and the elusive nature of confirming... let alone capturing... the reported marsupials. What's even stranger is anomalous sounds witnesses have claimed the 'roos have produced. How do these enigmatic creatures seem to end up in the strangest of places? Shouldn't a big hoping deer be easy to catch? Also on the Gralien Report, do plants communicate? If so, how? The debate rages if plants have conscious awareness in Spirit Voices of Plants: Surprising Subtleties of our Leafy Kindred. Vegetarians, beware.

A number of Bigfoot witnesses have noticed an electrical effect in areas where Bigfoot are seen. One observer felt "a static-electrical charge sweep over him, and had experienced his car's starter blowing out." This person also thought that "the electrical sensation was part of being somehow scanned." Are we venturing into UFO and abduction territory here? Also on the Blogsuatcher, is this a Thermal video of baby bigfoot? And on Cryptomundo, a Carter Farm Update.

Join your hosts Shane McMahon (Sasquatchfound) and Vic Cundiff (Cryptic Squatch) as they sit around the campfire with David Paulides and Harvey Pratt and discuss the realm of Bigfoot. And as always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.

Loren Coleman revisits the 1977 South Dakota Bigfoot sightings he calls "(o)ne of the most concentrated series of sightings of a non-Pacific Northwest Bigfoot-type creature seen on a Native American reservation". Coleman presents the timeline of events, assembled by Janet and Colin Bord and Mark A. Hall. Also at Cryptomundo, Coleman says, "Be certain to watch this one," as he gives an update on tonight's television programming for Mokele-Mbembe: MonsterQuest Wednesday.

I am into a new book titled 'Tribal Bigfoot' by Dave Paulides and Harvey Pratt.

I haven't quite finished it because I keep going back over previously read pages to more deeply absorb something NEW that I didn't know from their previous work, 'The Hoopa Project.' In fact, this reading has caused me to pick up the 'Hoopa Project' twice to reread and make visual comparisons with some of the images that have crossed my desk over a 24-year period of time. With only one exception, Harvey Pratt's images are a startling reminder of my own experiences, but also I see a consistency in his facial reconstructions that mirror many of the descriptions by my informants, especially details heretofore given little attention. It is an absolute thrill to finally see the human aspect in print. The book is definitely a positive foot forward for research.

Good grief what a fascinating read. If you think for one minute that there is nothing to be gained by reading their second book, think again; the ground these two men and the NABS team have covered certainly demonstrates exceptional investigative skills, an art form few in research have been trained in, least of all me, and certainly above and beyond those skills I�ve seen demonstrated by individuals schooled in the anthropological disciplines. Paulides's approach is new, he�s thorough, innovative and best of all he's objective; the man knows his craft. This read is exciting and it's been a long time coming.

Too much time and focus has been leveled in the quest for points found in track-ways and Sasquatch footprints that lends little to a significant push forward in research. This book, on the other hand, continues the author's move to place a wider focus on our Native American friends, their findings and what their oral historic teachings have brought to the table. How many times in this reading have I stopped and said to myself, 'the Native Americans and the First Nation Canadians I�ve interviewed have been (apparently) right all along; my God, the hours and dollars invested that have been wasted chasing deadends by the ape theorists!!' For the better part of 24 years I've stood alone in my assessment that what I have seen is human and how many times have I proclaimed that if a Sasquatch walked into my trauma unit, I would fully expect to give it all modern medicine allows, not veterinary medicine. We are not dealing with a dumb ape.

For me, these two books were a long time coming and I am absorbing Paulides's new material like a sponge. Pratt's ability to capture the fundamental nature of the forms their witnesses have given him in his images is breath-taking and often a cause for reflection. Paulides's investigative techniques I have not seen since Jim Hewkin, Jack Sullivan and Joel Hardin exited the Bigfoot arena; his ability for presenting his work in readable form is of course, an additional gift.

People, 'Tribal Bigfoot' is a brilliant work; I stand applauding this new release, which has literally knocked my socks off. It is just the breath of fresh air needed in research. The book is listed on www.amazon.com but is marked, 'out of stock.' I see Dave Hancock has this new release listed here: http://www.hancockhouse.com/products/tribig.htm

This was a pretty terrific show, with guest Jaime Avalos from California, who discussed his footprint research and findings, as well as some of the curious things he has found in some of the footprints he has found and casted, such as strange twisting and broken toes. Several folks called in, including myself, Tom Shirley and Bulletmaker (I asked about what sort of materials Jaime uses to cast his tracks, Tom was sort of comparing notes with Jaime, as was Bulletmaker. Dunno what Bob and Mike have planned for next week, but it begins at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central. And as always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.

I just finished reading Tribal Bigfoot by David Paulides. This new book is AWESOME WONDERFUL A+++, definitely a great sequel to the Hoopa Project, full of historical & new & old sightings from California & elsewhere in the USA. The eyewitnesses' sketches are awesome, very detailed. This book is very mind blowing, exciting, it makes ya cry in a great way. Both David Paulides & Harvey Pratt did an awesome job on this new huge book about Bigfoot-Sasquatch. That's my book review.

This book, written by a PBS documentary maker, takes an interesting tack on the skeptical side of the Bigfoot phenomenon-McLeod goes into the writing with the premise that Bigfoot is all either a hoax or misidentification or misinterpretation, and that the Patterson/Gimlin Film was a hoax due to Patterson being supposedly so obsessed with Bigfoot that he wanted the story to continue by faking a film. McLeod also gives a bit too much credit to Ray Wallace and his obviously hoaxed tracks and seems to think hoaxing of tracks and sightings goes back many years, even before Wallace. McLeod includes many interviews he conducted with several figures in the Bigfoot world, including Rene Dahinden, Peter Byrne, John Green, Bob Gimlin, Larry Lund and even Ray Wallace himself. He also talks to several rangers and other non-Bigfoot-related figures who are kind of on the periphery in that they have had strange sightings reported to them. McLeod concludes the book with a trip into the Bluff Creek drainage with a fellow named Jay who was there on the road-construction crew that Wallace ran. One interesting note (which may or may not be BS on Jay's part)-Jay claims that he never saw anyone camped in the Bluff Creek area around the time before or after the P/G Film was shot; he says that no one was there in 1967 from March to Thanksgiving, when he says he was there. Again, it is an interesting tidbit, but that does not make it true. I would give this book a 3 1/2 stars out of 5. It's a good read, no question about it. I do recommend it, even with reservations.
